hi dont kno who would be interested in this but i will post my progress of my trades. im new to the forex market and have no trading experience..lol i have opened up a mini demo account of $250. US with 1:100. what i would do if i opened up a live account. I did this to make a trial run before i put real money in. I have been practicing for about 2 months but made some mistakes that i have learned from and will probably make some more but now i think they wont hurt as much since im calming down and not trying to trade everything to make a killing. i have already started trading with this account and am down $18. wish me luck . im am trying to trade with the trends. i find this is where im comfortable . any help would be appriated thanx
also wanted to kno what are some helping indicators when trading with the trends?

ive now started trading live. progress is at bottom of page

down to 198.

im gonna have to lower the amount thats in the trade cause i got stopped out twice and bot were roughly $20 %2.5 . breaking rules cost me a couple trades. next week is a new week

A little trading insight to help you along your journey. I will try and stop by from time to time and give little nuggets of wisdom for everyone to learn from.

thanks much appreciated any help. i would like to be able to see things from all views....

where can i find that clarity indicator?

ok well i added the pivot point ind. like it gives a better idea on how things might go . i kno its just a helper i think next week should be betterr but with the holidays coming i dont kno what to expect from the market now . is this gonna throw off my learning experience,

ok Monday which I've learned is a bad day to trade this is the day i usually make my losses then fight the rest of week to make them back

went down to 150 but now back up to 190 . made few dumb trades "thinking" that the market was moving one way but nope..lol

That's a good point. You can think the market is going one way, and as it moves against you keep thinking 'it's coming back, any moment now'.

The market is a living thing, you have to always be trying to move with it, not wait for it to move how you would like it to.

ok just went live now with $50 usd gonna focus on this now. so far today up $4.

ok so i was up 4 buck went down to 41 now sitting at 48.14 .. bad matt stupid move...still learning

and a question for anyone who has some time under their belt trading im on the east coast of the us est. what would be the best times for me to trade?

I have attached a chart for your review on trading times. This chart is for eastern time zone.

thanks i take this week dosmt look good for trading

Holiday trading is known for big volatile moves in the market or abnormally small tight trading ranges. Liquidity is low and the technical structure tends to break down.

I was able to capture several moves however my trading strategy that I employed was more of a scalping system, i.e. get in and get out the first sign of stalling momentum or hesitation.

Shortly after new year the market liquidity will return to normal conditions.

Good luck

Jeremy
